THE QARDEMNG WORLD. 
opened by being pressed down on the soil and 
held there by means of a peg. Some -fresh soil, 
including plenty of sand and leaf mould, should be 
placed under and over the layered shoots. It is 
now rather late in the season, otherwise the plants 
might have been sufficiently rooted by spring to 
have them severed from the parent plant in March 
or April. At the same time, you can take cut¬ 
tings about the end of September, and place them 
in pots of sandy soil, to be kept in a greenhouse 
during winter. See that the cuttings are not 
allowed to get dry during the course of the 
•winter. No large amount of watering will be 
necessary as a rule, though the cuttings should 
not be neglected in this respect. Some time in 
March you can introduce the pots of cuttings to 
a warm house, and that will hasten the p-ocess 
of rooting. As soon as this has taken place each 
rooted cutting can be potted off separately and 
grown on under glass until the weather becomes 
favourable for planting them in nursery lines in 
the reserve garden or directly into their perma¬ 
nent positions where they are intended to be 
grown. 
Doubtfal Names of Plants. 
Being at a large show recently I took a fancy 
to a few plants 1 saw there, but am unable to 
trace them in any ol the catalogues or the. dic¬ 
tionary under the names I was supplied with, and 
should be glad if you would let me know, through 
the valuable columns of The Gardening World, 
whether the following plants are known under 
any other name. (1) Gheronia ixifera, a light, 
graceful plant, both in specimens and in small 
pots; (2) Jackerania, a foliage plant resembling 
the Acacia leaves, very finely cut; (3) Arragainum 
Ticktermus. I was also told it was a variety of 
Japanese Hop. Thanking you in anticipation. 
(D. L. J.) 
(1) The first-named plant was exhibited under the 
name of Chironia exifera. The first of these names 
is correct, but we are somewhat doubtful about 
the second name, unless it be a plant of recent 
introduction and not other-wise recorded, except 
as it appeared at the show. (2) The proper spel¬ 
ling of the second name you give us should have 
been Jac-aranda mimosaefolia. This plant has been 
in cultivation a good many years as a stove, fine 
•foliage plant, recently neglected, except in a few 
gardens, where it has been kept up as a fine foli¬ 
age plant, oi- planted out in a warm conserva¬ 
tory, as in the case of the flowers which you 
show. The plant must have been a good height 
to furnish such a fine panicle of flowers. It does 
not flower in a small state. (3) We are not sur¬ 
prised that you could not find the third name in 
any catalogue or dictionary, as we are unable to 
do that ourselves. The proper name of the plant 
no doubt was Origanum Dictamnus, which is a 
hardy herbaceous or rock-garden plant of consid¬ 
erable beauty. The name Japanese Hop might 
have been applied recently, but it belongs to the 
Mint family, and is, in fact, a species of wild 
Marjoram, but in this particular case named 
Dittany of Crete. This you should be able to find 
in any good herbaceous catalogue, and certainly 
in the dictionaries.
